Arapaho-Roosevelt National Forest officials have closed some recreation sites in the Canyon Lakes Ranger District, due to the High Park fire.

All recreation sites, including campgrounds, trailheads, and picnic areas, are closed along the Poudre Canyon, Pingree Park Road and Crown Point Road.

Many trails are closed, including all trails along the Poudre Canyon, trails accessed from the Dunraven trailhead, and several trails in the Comanche Peak Wilderness. Colorado 14 remains closed from east of Gould to Ted's Place.

Forest officials said the closures are temporary due to the emergency nature of the fire and will be rescinded or modified when appropriate.
